Hi Abel,
I think you need a third category cyborg ;-)
More seriously, there is research on identifying contributor types.
See our review in
http://wikiworkshop.org/2017/papers/p1627-dahm.pdf
section 2.2.3 on this topic.
For example, Ron Meier is an account that makes use of scripts
excessively. However, up on manual investigation, we got the
impression that this was an actual human.
However, I have not looked at the literature on bot and vandalism
detection recently. That's probably a good starting point.
All the best

Hello fellow wiki investigators!
I have observed that, very often in wikis, users not in the bot groups are
actually behaving like bots. Since the mediawiki api doesn't restrict
normal users to automatize tasks through its API, you might have a "normal"
user, actually doing bot things. I would like to identify those and
consider them as bots.
Is anyone aware if there's any implemented model already to classify
whether an user is a bot or not?
Thanks and nice weekend!
